March 2321:282017

Asheville, Marion, and Rutherfordton, NC: People in need of orthodontic care in the Asheville, Marion, or Rutherfordton areas now have improved access to state-of-the-art expertise and technology, thanks to TS Orthodontics. After over 15 years of practicing orthodontics, Dr. Timothy C. Scanlan and Dr. Renee Carlson still love what they do.

The TS Orthodontics team is now giving local North Carolina residents a new reason to smile by offering a complimentary TS Orthodontics Smile Analysis to all new patients.

The TS Orthodontics Smile Analysis provides patients with a complete orthodontic exam, digital x-rays, and a comprehensive treatment consultation with Dr. Scanlan or Dr. Carlson. This package, a $249 value, is currently free at TS Orthodontics and carries no obligation.

Why is TS Orthodontics giving away this free service? “A healthy smile can make such a difference in someone’s life,” explains Dr. Timothy C. Scanlan, “but some people hesitate to take that first step. We want to give people the chance to start a conversation, to at least find out what’s possible.”

Patients who decide to proceed with treatment after their free smile assessment can also take advantage of the flexible financial options at TS Orthodontics. In addition to keeping treatment costs reasonable, TS Orthodontics also helps patients accomplish their ideal smiles by accepting most dental insurances and helping patients with their insurance paperwork.

In addition to the improved confidence that a great looking smile can bring, orthodontic care has also been shown to have notable health benefits. Properly aligned bites ensure that pressure distributes equally when someone chews or bites down. As a result, patients who have undergone quality orthodontic care may avoid problems later in life such as headaches or TMJ.

TS Orthodontics offers a variety of potential treatments to ensure that each patient receives care that fits his or her unique needs. In addition to metal braces, Dr. Scanlan, and Dr. Carlson can also fit patients with lingual braces or removable, clear Invisalign aligners. Both of these latter choices can be a great option for patients who want a more discreet treatment. Some of TS Orthodontics patients can also shorten their overall time in treatment, sometimes by as much as 30%, thanks to the non-invasive, painless technology of SureSmiles.

“I find that adults in particular like Invisalign,” Dr. Carlson notes. “The aligners are removable, and my patients like the simplicity that Invisalign provides. They don’t have to change their cooking or eating habits, and they don’t have to do anything special to brush their teeth or floss.”

Of course, even the most advanced treatment can only be effective if its provider cares about a patient’s individual needs. This is where the orthodontists at TS Orthodontics truly shine. TS Orthodontics has built its reputation around treating every patient like a member of the family. Each patient’s treatment plan is uniquely personalized, and treatment only begins once a patient or patient’s parents feel 100% confident. To accomplish this, Drs. Scanlan and Carlson take a consultative approach, through which they listen carefully to their patients’ wishes and concerns and take the time to educate their patients on all available treatment options, as well as the reasoning behind their recommendations.

“I say to my patients, ‘You’re the one starting this treatment, not me,’” Dr. Scanlan explains. “I don’t ever want a patient to start a treatment until they feel it’s the best choice for them.”

The TS Orthodontics team’s orthodontic expertise stems from their extensive education as much as from their 15 years of orthodontic experience. In addition to their advanced orthodontic degrees, the TS Orthodontics doctors are also members of the North Carolina Dental Society, American Association of Orthodontists, Diplomate American Board of Orthodontics, and the Mission Health & Hospitals.
